People of Prosper [pic]

January 28th, 2008 | Listing Review

Prosper is diverse and outstandingly egalitarian. I am celebrating that diversity with a pictorial of credit worthy*** borrowers. Everyone of these borrowers has credit worthy of extending credit. Do these photos make you want to bid? Would you give them a loan? Click any picture to be taken to their Prosper listing.

*** Using my own extremely tight lending credit criteria and the existence of a non blurry personal photo and a listing that expires in more than 5 days were my only criteria. Credit Criteria: 0 current delinquencies, 0 delinquencies in the last 7 years, 0 public records in the last 10 years, 0-1 inquires in the last 6 months, 3-85% bankcard utilization. These are all live listings as of 1/27/08 at 8pm pst There were 157 listings at the time ignoring the picture and listing age requirements. This link leads to a search matching the criteria I used to create this pictorial.
